Undisputed shares some disappointing news about the game's first update

Key conclusions

  • Steel City Interactive confirms that the first Undisputed update will arrive in mid-December.
  • Undisputed has faced numerous issues since launch, mostly related to power hits and desynchronization issues.
  • Fans are frustrated by the long wait for the game's first update, but Steel City says it allows the studio to “properly test and refine” the patch.



Indisputable developer Steel City Interactive says it's “aware of a number of issues” affecting the game's multiplayer modes, but it won't release the game's first update until mid-December. For now Indisputable has been in Steam Early Access for nearly two years, the long-awaited boxing game still launched with desynchronization issues and a major problem with power punches breaking through an opponent's guard, resulting in what fans are calling “impossible” online.

After finally launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 11 (or October 8 for Deluxe Edition owners), fans have been eagerly anticipating what Steel City Interactive is calling “the most authentic boxing game to date.” Even though it's been thirteen years since the release of a major new boxing game, fans are left with a sour taste in their mouths, Indisputable was riddled with heavy hitting and desynchronization issues. The first of these two issues has resulted in the game's ranked mode and online matches being filled with players spamming with heavy hits, making any multiplayer combat frustrating.

In a new blog post on the studio's website, Steel City said it is aware of a number of issues affecting the game, particularly around online multiplayer. The developer then announced that the game's first update is scheduled to be released in mid-December, and admitted that it might seem like a long time, but noted that it allows the team to properly test, improve, and make fixes as needed. Steel City also said that the December release window allows the studio to deliver fixes without further impacting other planned updates.

Steel City then outlined the most “critical issues” it intends to fix in the December update, but noted that future updates related to lockout and career mode improvements are also in the works. While fans are rightly frustrated by the long wait times for the game's first update, Steel City says the patch will focus on desynchronization issues that cause players to be unable to fight effectively, hard punches consistently breaking through blocks, Deontay Wilder being too strong, endless transition screens in some cases and problems with DLC fighters not being available.


Unfortunately, this again led to the Steel City receiving a ton of backlash. Responding to the news, Twitter user Bran said: “December is crazy after I just paid $80,” while Ashley Payne said: “December! I am very sorry that this is not acceptable for a game that you have charged me £65 for.' It's also not the first time the studio has received backlash from fans, just like a full release Indisputable was met with mixed reviews, with many berating the game for being somehow worse at launch than it was in early access.
